Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, certainly, for one, hope that the answer will be yes.
I would like to ask the Minister, Mr. Speaker; I'm aware that in previous negotiations which had gone on for many years, one of the concerns of the federal government was that the office of the director of public prosecutions, or the office of the Attorney General for the Northwest Territories in charge of prosecutions, would be independent and free from political interference. I would like to ask the Minister, has he and his officials developed a model for how the Northwest Territories would handle this important responsibility which will demonstrate that the office of the director of public prosecutions will be independent, impartial and free from political interference? Has that model been developed?
